Hi my name is Kristen I am originally from Baltimore Maryland but I now live in Western Pennsylvania I moved to Western Pennsylvania for my dad's old job 11 years ago, but anyway's I have been a coin collectior or got intereted in coin collection when I was 6-7 or 8 years old because I remember loooking at my parents two old Pringle cans full of Pennies and they had about 8 old Wheat Pennies in there and I took them out with out telling I felt so guilty but then they said we would of not been mad they are just pennies lol. But now to my question I was looking at my coin collection the other month and I found that I have a 1964 D Washington Silver Quarter and it might either be a Double Die or a Repunch and can any tell me if it is a Double Die or a Repunch thank you to who might know. And the picture looks like this because I had to put the 1964D Washington Silver Quarter under my younger sister's Microscope so my dad could see the coin because he could not see it with out the Microscope. Thank you again to who might know.   |

 Kristen! It does look like a repunch but I'm by no means an expert. Let's wait to see what the experts have to say. |

Howdy Kristen, good to have you!
It does look like a possible repunched mintmark perhaps. I'm not an error guy so there will be other responses too. May I suggest placing this in the Modern U.S. Error & Variety Sub-Forum for better exposure. Many error guys and gals that can help ya out ;-)

Kristen, to the CCF. It definitely looks like a re-punched mint mark. Is there doubling present anywhere else on the quarter? |

To see more of the devices below the mint mark would help. From what I see so far it appears as Machine Doubling. The up right seems reduced from the event that happened to the mint mark. More images of other devices like the DOLLAR would help to reveal if it is Machine Doubling? |

I agree with Coop. I had one very similar to this that I thought was an RPM. However, the letters also showed the same sort of doubling (flat and shelf like). It was a while until I figured out it was just Machine Doubling. Keep looking though! Dave |

Kristen, its good to have you with us.  My original thought was also Machine Doubling. Seeing Coop respond this way makes me think I actually might be learning something here on CCF How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Many times the mint mark is higher than other devices on the coin, so the mint mark get affected during ejection of the coin. So it is affected by Machine Doubling |
